Economic Impact of Cinema in California Major Employment from Movie Industry in California by County
In 2005, movie production provided employment for over 245,000 Californians, with an associated payroll of more than $17 billion
A 2-hour movie digitally scanned and compressed at 500Mb/s takes 450 GBytes
CENIC Wave Cisco has built 10 GigE waves on NLR and installed big 6506 switches for access points in
San Diego, Los Angeles, Sunnyvale, Seattle, Chicago and McLean for CineGrid MembersSome of these points are also GLIF GOLEs

What is CineGrid?
CineGrid is a non-profit international membership organization established in 2007 based on collaborative efforts, since iGrid 2002 in Amsterdam, of leaders in the fields of advanced networking and digital media technology from Japan, America, Canada, and Europe.
CineGrid is building an interdisciplinary community for the research, development, and demonstration of networked collaborative tools to enable the production, use, and exchange of very high-quality digital media over photonic networks.
CineGrid is built on GLIF links by GLIF members.
CineGrid organizes major demonstrations with many GLIF users.
Historic Convergence Motivates CineGrid
• State of the art of visualization is always driven by three communities– Entertainment, media, art and culture– Science, medicine, education and research– Military, intelligence, security and police
• All three communities are converting to digital media with converging requirements
– Fast networking with similar profiles– Access shared instruments, specialized computers and massive storage – Collaboration tools for distributed, remote teams– Robust security for their intellectual property– Upgraded systems to allow higher visual quality, greater speed, more
distributed applications– A next generation of trained professionals
CineGrid Founding Members
• Keio University DMC• Lucasfilm Ltd. • NTT Network Innovation Laboratories • Pacific Interface Inc.• Ryerson University/Rogers Communications Centre• San Francisco State University/INGI• Sony Electronics America • University of Amsterdam • University of California San Diego/Calit2/CRCA• University of Illinois Chicago/EVL • University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign/NCSA• University of Southern California/School of Cinematic Arts• University of Washington/Research ChannelThe Founding Members of CineGrid are an extraordinary mix of media
arts schools, research universities, and scientific laboratories connected by 1GE and 10GE networks used for research and
education
CineGrid Institutional Members
• California Academy of Sciences• Dark Strand• JVC America• Louisiana State University CCT• Nortel Networks• Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI)• Sharp Labs USA• Sharp Corporation• Tohoku University/Kawamata Laboratory• Waag Society
CineGrid members operate their own digital media facilities and cyberinfrastructure for digital cinema and HDTV production, post-
production, distribution and exhibition distributed on a global scale, as well as for telepresence, distance learning and scientific
visualization.
CineGrid Network / Exchange Members
• CANARIE• CENIC• CESNET• Cisco Systems• CzechLight• Japan Gigabit Network 2• National LambdaRail• NetherLight• PacificWave• Pacific North West GigaPOP• StarLight • SURFnet• WIDE
CineGrid Network/Exchange Members are GLIF Members too
CineGrid Members’ Research
• Live performance streaming/video conferencing in 4K and HD with multi-channel sound, point-to-point, one-to-many, and many-to-one
• Remote recording of uncompressed 4K camera output in real-time• Stereoscopic motion pictures - acquisition, computer generation and display
• Networked multi-channel audio solutions with low latency, accurate sync• Remote collaboration workflows and interactive creative tools
• Use of dynamic optical networks• Collaboration on tiled displays to 100s of megapixels
• Digital archiving, long-term preservation, and secure distribution• Digital media format conversion, compression and enhancement• Digital film restoration using distributed cluster computing resources
• Training and methodologies for next generation media professionals

Holland Fest (6/20-22/07) on CineGrid
• “ERA LA NOTTE” Star soprano Anna Maria Antonacci sang solo madrigals from the Italian baroque in the setting of a theatrical concert (http://www.hollandfestival.nl/#festival/voorstelling/9043 )
• 4K transmission– JPEG2000 Compressed (500Mb/s) via
IRNC/C(ON)2/CAVEwave to Calit2 on Wednesday
– Uncompressed via IRNC/JGN2 to Keio on Friday (8bGb/s)
• DVCPRO-HD transmission– Compressed (135MB/s) via
IRNC/C(ON)2/CAVEwave to Calit2 on Thursday
– Replicated and sent to USC, UW, UIC, Ryerson, (Stockholm), Barcelona, (Prague) as 135Mb/s streams, decoded by PCs
• A new goal for GOLEs: global access to cinema production & post production– Geographic location need no longer be a barrier to your customers
creating with the highest media production quality– You can bring your local talent and facilities to distant places– You can show support for your projects nationally and
internationally– You will point to increased revenue and employment growth in
your media industries working with world-wide collaborators, as well as observable bandwidth utilization of GLIF-style networks
Thank You Very Much!
• Our planning, research, and education efforts are made
possible, in major part, by funding from:
– US National Science Foundation (NSF) awards ANI-0225642, EIA-
0115809, and SCI-0441094
– State of California, Calit2 UCSD Division
– State of Illinois I-WIRE Program, and major UIC cost sharing
• Argonne National Laboratory and Northwestern University for
